Two items: a glossy 5 x 7 photo of a bearded Ben Spock without his glasses, signed in black felt tip; and an ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, no date, in full: "In one sense I got interested in pediatrics by working as a summer counselor in a crippled children's home during my undergraduate years at Yale. More basically I must have identified, as the oldest of six children, with my mother who was devoted to her children and particularly loved babies. I helped to take care of some of the younger ones. Thank you for your letter." In overall fine condition, with light overall toning, and three border binder dings, to the letter.
